The game: Barça can do anything
Juve took risks to thwart Barcelona, and even more after opening the score early Barça. The Italians have had a very high pressing to disrupt short clearance by the defense of the Catalans. Winners risks at first because they allowed him to equalize at the start of a second period when Barca struggled to control possession. But the team of Luis Enrique has other strings to its bow. It proved this by taking the pressure of the Old Lady, before crucifying the two goals on against attacks. Yes, that Barça do everything. And he does it well.

Players: Iniesta, an artist never dies
Like his team, Andres Iniesta suffered in the second half. But first, “Don Andres” had delivered a recital, in the image of his decisive pass on goal from Ivan Rakitic. Lionel Messi did not score, but he made the difference on the first two goals Barcelona. The Catalan defense held despite a lackluster performance by Javier Mascherano in trouble with Alvaro Morata. The center forward Juve shone beyond his goal with a great job the cleaners. He was helped by Claudio Marchisio in midfield omnipresent. Arturo Vidal has been, but in the wrong way. Nervous, draft, the Chilean was the weak link Turin.
What could have changed everything
At this level, the matches are often played on details. One who certainly made the difference occurred in the 68th minute with a contact in the disputed area between Catalan Paul Pogba and Dani Alves. Mr. Çakir probably made the right decision by not giving the French penalty spot. Other referees might have hissed, and offered to Juve the chance to pass. Not the Turkish, and the game swung in the other direction. For the cons, Barcelona took advantage of the disorganization in Turin decline to resume a definitive advantage to score.

A figure that makes the happiness of Barça, and the misfortune of Juve. With his success in Berlin, FC Barcelona has indeed won his last four Champions League finals. Quite the opposite of Juventus. Juve had lost their last three finals in this competition. The curse continued in Germany, where the Old Lady stumbled on the last step for the fourth consecutive time.

The question. The doubling can he escape the Barça
Barcelona already knows his challenge next season to become the first club to retain his trophy C1 since AC Milan in 1990. A very ambitious goal. But Barca has everything to achieve it. His experience already with this fourth title of European champion in a decade. The force of habit is a weapon of the Catalan club, and this is felt in the key moments of the match against Juventus who had not been on this stage of the competition since 2003.
There is also the style of this Barça. The formation of Luis Enrique is not a machine to possess the ball as was that of Josep Guardiola. She also knows how to defend, bide his time and strike when it hurts the most. This is probably the killer instinct that has eluded it since his last European Champion coronation in 2011 against Manchester United. This is certainly what enabled him to differentiate this season. In the first leg against Bayern (3-0) in the semifinals, and against Juventus in the final.
Above all, this Barça may have the best attack in history online. The Messi-Neymar-Suarez trio is none, to the image of his statistics this season. Beyond the defensive solidity of Barcelona and its collective and technical superiority, quality of its attackers triplet is his lethal weapon, one that competition does not have. Untouchable in the transfer market, these three men should remain in Catalonia for several years. And the happiness of a Barça that seems able to stay a while on the roof of Europe.
